Kanye West announces horrific new album with ‘antisemitic sound’
He's recently said he's 'not a Nazi'.
Kanye West has revealed his new music will feature an ‘antisemitic sound’ after his horrific rants and comments about Jewish people.
The rapper’s erratic behaviour has been increasingly openly antisemitic over the past few years to the point of selling t-shirts printed with swastikas.
In a rant on X, he called himself a ‘Nazi’ only to backtrack a few weeks later once his account was reinstated and announce he was ‘not a Nazi.’
However, Ye, 47, has now reportedly said in a since deleted post that his upcoming music will feature his ‘new sound called antisemitic’.
It’s unclear what exactly he means by this ‘new sound’ but it’s thought to be connected to his upcoming album, Bully.
His X account now only has one tweet, which reads: ‘THE HARDEST THING TO BE IS SOMETHING YOU’RE NOT.’

This will be Ye’s first solo album since 2021’s Donda but he did release two collaborative records with Ty Dolla Sign last year.
Vultures 1 and 2 managed to secure a number one and number two slot, respectively, in the US album chart — despite both being critically panned.
He was dropped by label Def Jam in 2022 after antisemitic comments and has been releasing music independently ever since.
Speaking about the antisemitic sound, he added: ‘People used to tell me black rich vocal pick two or they’ll kill you kiiiids sing kiiiids sing jokes on you I’m still alive.’
He said he was a Nazi then ‘came to the realisation’ he is not (Picture: X)This was a reference to his We Don’t Care track from his 2004 debut album, The College Dropout.
Ye has attracted heavy criticism of late, especially regarding his SuperBowl stunt where he advertised the offensive t-shirts.
His website was taken offline after he deleted everything on it with the exception of the t-shirt, available for purchase for $20 (£16.15).
A representative for Shopify, which processes the website’s orders, said that Kanye’s shop violated the company’s terms and conditions.
The representative told People Magazine the shop ‘did not engage in authentic commerce practices and violated our terms so we removed them from Shopify.’
While the antisemitism has become increasingly public, a former employee told CNN that in 2018, Ye wanted to name his album after Adolf Hitler.

With no label representatives to push back on his plans, Ye has full creative control over Bully and any new music.
However, with such erratic behaviour, it’s unclear how firm the plans for this album are.
Ex-partner Amber Rose, 41, who dated the rapper from 2008 to 2010, spoke out against Ye recently concerning his wife Bianca Censori, 30.
‘Kanye is for sure dressing her like that,’ she told Shannon Sharpe on the Club Shay Shay podcast. ‘Yeah, he did the same thing to me and Kim. It’s just who he is.

Amber also wore a see-through dress while with Ye, similar to the one Bianca was seen sporting at the Grammy Awards last month.
‘I cried. I remember crying,’ she shared. ‘I was in like Italy or Paris or something and I remember crying and arguing with him and being like I don’t f*****g want to wear this s**t, I don’t wanna wear it.
‘[He said] You don’t understand, it’s fashion, I’m a genius. It’s like, okay, I still don’t wanna wear it but I went in wearing it, they ate me up on the internet.’
